We all have our little secrets, problems and things that we don't tell others. I think it got a bit too much for me. I've been avoiding my problems for a while now. Tomorrow is the day I face them and sort them out once and for all. Tomorrow will determine the rest of my life. Do you know how much uni work I did this year? Out of 14 bits of course work and 2 exams I did 0. One of the things I will do tomorrow is tell my parents that I pretty much fucked up. Then try to sort out a retake if that can even be done. That's just one of the things I need to do. Not looking forwards to it... But that will be a mountain off my chest. I will be able to breathe again.
Sorry about that mate, I am having a bit of downtime this semester myself as well and yes telling the truth out is the best. Well I dont think retake can harm you though and I believe most graduate schools will accept and treat it like any other's. I believe it'll go well afterwards mate. Just dont give up no matter what. Trying is better than giving up
Good luck on your venture. Many great people have dropped out of university - or not even started in the first place - and made a great career and life for themselves. I'm sure you'll be alright, keep at whatever makes you happy. The pursuit of happiness, I believe
Thank you guys! Really appreciate your positive comments. Spider-Man I completely agree but it is going to be a hard job explaining this to my old fashioned parents who have 5 degrees between them.
Then remember - experience counts more than a bit of paper. At the end of the day, if I can buy 500 sheets of paper from Asda for £1.88, it doesn't say much for that one sheet of paper, does it? Oh, and if push comes to shove, just listen to some Bob Marley - every little thing is gonna be alright
I agree on you bro... What really matters are those things or work that can really make you happy. Good Luck Bro.... Life must be full of FUN right?
That is a tough pill to swallow. It could be worse though right, you could have knocked up the GF, got your tongue pierced and owe $50K to Vegas bookies. Good luck and let us know how long you are grounded for
lol fair point. Things can always be worse though...well almost always. So how did it go anyway? If you don't reply i'm going to assume it went bad enough that your not online again.
he probably should have started off with "I have AIDS." then let that shock settle in...then say "I don't really have aids, but I did f up in school." then they will be happy and that will outweigh their anger
He caught it from a rough trick named Jim However, something tells me his parental units would not appreciate "but the good news is" following that particular announcement!
Expect the worst and prepare for it. Sometimes you may be pleasantly surprised when the "confrontation" happens.
